In an article from 2009, I had just found my new job (I hadn’t started it yet) but still held some ill will toward the folks who laid me off.
No Nortel on TSX
Nortel was delisted in June 2009, and thus, another sorry Canadian story ends with a whimper and not a bang. Nortel, the company, will not be back as it was (it may return much like Mitel did, much smaller and weaker), but that is a good thing. Hopefully, the remaining employees will mostly keep their jobs, but for those who have had their pensions torn apart, their severance lost, and their savings decimated, not much else can be said either.
Canada is Growing 33,592,686 Strong!
Stats Canada says that in the first quarter of 2009.
Canada’s population increased by 0.26% in the first quarter of 2009, the fastest first-quarter growth rate since 2001.
Cool! Ontario’s population is over 13,000,000 , which is also interested, but I am interested to see where these people moved into, large urban centers would be my guess.

the population is growing mainly because of the immigrants, without it- we are not China
Interesting phrase? I assume you mean our population would not be growing without immigration, which is true (as the son of immigrants).
